Best starting applications
Surface-water intake, small irrigation systems, tank transfer, washdown and practical site-water duties.
SP / 02 · Surface intake
Self-priming water pumps.
For transfer duties where the pump sits above the water source and practical access to priming and suction piping matters.
Family overview
Priming performance depends on the whole suction side.
A self-priming label does not remove the need for airtight suction piping, suitable lift, correct initial filling and the right liquid condition. Share the source level and suction route before confirming a model.
Selection priorities
Suction lift, air tightness, priming volume, liquid condition, duty point and the required restart behavior.
Documents to request
Performance curve, self-priming guidance, allowable suction conditions, construction and motor information.

A useful self-priming inquiry.
- Water source
- Open tank, canal, pond or other source; minimum water level
- Suction
- Vertical lift, pipe length, internal diameter, fittings and foot valve
- Duty
